Tinh, a specialty Vietnamese tea shop, will launch a Japan-Vietnam traveling photography exhibition on Vietnamese tea starting August 2026. This exhibition was made possible thanks to the support of 284 backers through a crowdfunding campaign held last September to October. Focusing on the tea culture and daily lives of people in the mountainous regions of northern Vietnam—a subject that has seen limited systematic documentation and outreach even within Vietnam—the exhibition was developed through on-site reporting and production. The exhibition will travel from Tokyo to Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi, continuing its journey accompanied by voices from visitors in each city. Exhibition Overview: A Three-City Tour Across Japan and Vietnam 'Echoes of Life | Tea from Vietnam: The Baton of Life' is organized by Tinh, a Vietnamese tea specialty store, and will tour three cities: Tokyo, Ho Chi Minh City, and Hanoi. Exhibition updates will be posted regularly on the official website: Vietnam Tea Japan-Vietnam Traveling Photography Exhibition 2026.

By combining Mr. Tung’s perspective as a Vietnamese native with Tinh’s viewpoint—formed through repeated visits to tea-producing regions—the exhibition presents landscapes and ways of life that can only be revealed through deep dialogue and trust with local communities.
